Finally, I got my hands on the long awaited MK3 Warmachine stuff. I drank the Koolaid completely, I'm buying stuff, I'm in a league and I'm going to be buying more, Shhhhhhh I said it.Go silently into the good night dear wallet, another pile of stuff the paint, yes be happy.

Whats good in the box?
The Miniatures are of an OK quality I am more use to the hard plastics from malifaux these are more in line with the restics from deadzone. While they all look fine they will need a fair amount of cleaning up and the fact they have been pre-clipped out a spur makes it hard to determine if you have all the bits.Their associated cards are all well printed and easy to read, I had some trouble with the malifaux cards as they like a lot of visual decoration on them and that makes it sometimes hard to read from a distance.
The dice seem really nice Im used to using some of the older, geedubs dice which I hated, so 4 more nice ones is great.
The tokens being plastic make a welcome addition over the usual cardboard ones provided in other boxes or not provided at all.... Im looking at you malifaux.
Whats not so great?
The ruler is really cheap its going away very soon.The mat while vibrant and colorful, is very very stiff and seems like its too small for a full sized game, it worked out at about 2 foot by 2 foot. I would have paid much more for a box if it included the rubber backed mat's I've had in other games or even a full sized mat in poster paper or cloth.
Conclusion
I'm really psyched to get these guys put together. I have to resist the urge to buy more at this stage, I do want to get another box to two so my kids can play too.
8/10
